WHAT AN EXCHANGE MEMBER SAYS.
The Inman Clews controversy which resulted In Henry
Clews withdrawing his application for membership In
the Cotton Exchange continued to be talked about by
the members yesterday As THE TRIBUNE published the
first of the trouble exclusively those interested
naturally looked to THE TRIBUNE for a continuation OF
the story TRIBUyEs were in great demand and many
members seemingly more interested in the second
chapter of the difficulty than they were In the cotton
market Mr. Clews's letter cut from THE TRIBUNE
and posted on the bulletin and it read, analysed ana
freely commented upon The general impression seemed
to be that with strong defence as the letter con-
aincd Mr. Cews ought not to have hesitaed to appear
before the Committee Memberships, the majority OF
which were favorable TO Mr. Cews because they beneVe
in encouraging the Stock Exchange element to the COT

HERSELF

HERSELF
CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 20.-James Cabalek
Is a well-to-do carpenter living on Indc.
pendence street, near the city limits. He
has had employment all winter, and his
eldest son worked with him. This morn.
ing he and his son went to work shortly
before z o'clock. The mother, Antonette,
had been out of temper at the breakfast
table, and had refused to talk to her
husband. Directly after breakfast she
sent Henry, her fiftcen-year-old boy,
to grocery near by, and still an.
other son to milk depot. When they
returned they could not get into the house.
Going into the back yard they saw
James, thirteen years old, in the water
closet, bleeding from sixteen wounds in tho
left side. They fastened away and called
their Oldest brother, who had gone off
with the father, and returning, the three
boys forced an entrance to the house.
They discovered Tony, an eight-year-
girl, bleeding from q dozen cuts in her
left side. On the floor near by were
Mamie, five years old, Antoinette
three years old, and Willie, three
months old, all dead from dreadful stabs
near the heart. A bloody pair of shears
told the story. A hunt was made for
the mother. She was found in the cellar
hanging from rafter dead. She had kill
ed her three children, mortally injured
two others and had then committed sui
eide. The two children who were still
alive were removed to neighbors house,
bnt they will die. No cause for the terri
BILE deed is given. The husband does not
think that his wife was insane.

CHARGED WITH POISONING.

Strong Circumstantial Evidence Developed
Against tho Chicago Man, Lawrence
Krug.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-It is now certain that
Lucy Heidelmeycr was poisoned. Prof.
Haines, of the Russ Medical College, has
completed chemical analysis Of
her stomach. He found traces Of
arsenic in every vital part. 1t was ad-
ministered in such liberal quantities that
the only wonder Is that the girl lived as
long as she did. Captain Setback has also
ascertained that Lawrence Krug, the girls
stepfather, who is being held to await the
result of the investigation, lived for a long
while with q celebrated chemist in Ger
many, and there gained an extensive kowl-
edge of the deadly qualities of various
poisons. Yesterday Professor Haines
began an analysis of the remains Of
Krug's third wife, which were
exhumed for that purpose last Thursday.
The officers think they have strong case
of circumstantial evidence against Krug.
The inquest on the step-daughter will be
resumed this week, and inquiry redoubled
as to the four other deaths charged against
Krug. He has authorized the sale of two
houses belonging to him in order to raise
money to defend himself in the criminal
court,

The Noted Lion Kennedy Put Out of His
Misery.

BRIDGEPoKT, Jan. 20.-The noble African
lion Kennedy, aged twenty years and val
ucd at $1,000 who has delighted the chill
dren all over the country, as he rode
perchcd on one of the large chariots in the
street pageants of the great Barnum Lon
don Circus, was killed yesterday in this
city in the presence of fifty spectators. Mr..
Barnum and nearly all the physicians Of
the city were present The huge beast has
been suffering for the past year with spinal
meningitis, and the case was pronounced
incurable. 1t has been question how to
best kill the animal without causing an
uproar among the hundreds of Gagged
beasts Finally it was decided to use
chloroform, and DR.. Robert was ap-
pointed exccutioner. George johnson,
kennedy's keeper, arranged the prelimi-
naries by securely binding the lions feet
to opposite sides of the cage. A large bas.
ket was lined with rubber cloth. and into
this was placed about three-quarters of a
pound of chloroform. The cloth was then
tied over Kennedy's neck, and inhalation
began. For about two minutes the lion
struggled frantically to release his head,
and then he gradually succumbed to the
In six minutes he was pro-
nOunced dead.

The Sheriff of Chicago Says They Shall Not

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Sheriff Matson posi-
lively refuses to allow the marriage of
Spies, the cOndemed Anarchist, and Isina
Van Zandt to take place. He says 81 am

mitted the girl to visit the Jail, and much
more that they would consent to let her

given chance to look before she

persons during the last few days, and
lind that public opinion is almost unani-
mously against the marriage. 1t is so
strong, in fact, that, after talking the
matter over with State Attorney Grinnell.
L am firmly resolved that the marriaee
shall be indefinitely postponed. l hope
that Miss Van Zandt and her friends will
be reconciled to wait and believe that nv
views are right, but whether they
do or not l am confident that the peo-
pie of Chicago will applaud nv

1 shall prevent it. Spies is my pris-
oner, and as such is entitled only to such
privileges or liberties as l may think
proper to give him. The only person whom
am obliged to allow access to him is his
lawyer" Miss Van Zandt appeared quite
indifferent when told of the sheriff's de-
cision, but refused to be interviewed on
the subject. Miss Van Zandt went to the
Jail about 10 o'clock this morning and
sought an interview with Spies. The jail
officials, however, in obedience to the
sheriff's orders, refused to allow her to

Married a Skelaion.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.--The skeleton Of
the Ninth and Arch streets Dime Museum,
w. j. Coffey, was married tonight to Miss
Eva Cartwright, of Norristown, at the pas
toral residence Of Rev. DR.. Chapman.
The makeup of the skeleton was faultless.
His clothes sat well upon him, and would
easily fit medium-sized man weighing
14O pounds. His legs, arms and trunk
had evidently been well-padded, for moth
ing about the set of his garments
would indicate that he did not carry
about an average amount of flesh. His
mustache and goatee were carefully wax
ed and combed, and his eye-glass was in
position. The lady whose choice fell upon
the skeleton is a decided blonde of about
twenty-eight, and of fair appearance,
weighing about one hundred and thirty
pounds. Coffey possibly weighs fifty
pounds, and is about the same age as his

TOLEDO, o., Jan. 23.-The ice in the Mau-

AN ICY HARBOR.
Lost by the Sudden Breaking
Up of Ice.
Thrilling Escapes and Heroic Rcscues Re-
lated by Survivors - Ahoat on q Cake OF
Ice In Niagara River.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 21.-3realsing up of
the ice in this end of Lake Erie, yes
terday afternoon, brought CONSERVATION
to many homes in this city. More than the
usual number of men were out on the ice,
and 1t was reported early in the evening
that over one hundred had perished. So
many different routes were taken by the
men to reach the shore in safety that
many did not get home till to-day. Owing
to the varied character Of men engaged in
fishing the full number Of missing men
can not be learned. A sensational
scene was the trip Of William williams
and John Clark down Niagara river
on small cake of ice. The men floated
down the river as far as the International
bridge before Patrick O'Brien and James
Hoolihan were able to overtake and res
cue them. The ice cake was not of the
most substantial kind, and their escape
from the perilous situation is regarded as
remarkable. George Bowman, barber,
and an old fisherman, was one of the last
men in. He was as far out as any one, and
knew by the motion of his lines in the
afternoon that the ice was moving. He
soon started and finally succeeded in
landing near Bay View, five miles south
of here about 10 o'clock at night. Near
Rocky Point number of narrow es-
capes were witnessed. A fisherman said
that on looking behind him, while hurry
ing to the shore, he saw man swimming
across chasm, fully thirty feet wide.
What the swimmers fate was he could
not say, as he had all he could do to look
out for himself. Another said that while
a man was standing on cake of ice with
his dog and sled the cake suddenly tipped
and the man, dog and sled, slipped into the
water and disappeared. He was not seen
to come to the surface. Edward Hyland,
No of the life-saving crew, had a thrill
ing experience. He was a long distance
up the lake fishing, with his dog
and sleigh, and finding the ice commencing
to move, started for shore, but his dog was
and refused to stir step with
the load of fish. Hyland knew he was los
ing precious moments, but didn't want to
lose his dog and fish, and tried every effort
to get the animal to move. At this mo-
ment the ice beside him cracked and part
ed, the seam running long distance
either way from where he stood. Still he
hesitated. The crack between him and
probable safety grew broader. Finally he
threw the sled across, and, abandoning
the dog to its fate, sprang across the
chasm, and made his way safely
to shore, dragging the sled of fish after
him.

and threwit on top of some other baggage.
An explosion followed, which lifted the
top off the car as though it was made of
paper, and scattered fragments in all di-
rections. The shock was terrible, and
startled the engineer and trainmen. 1t al
so attracted the attention of tho passen-
gers, and when it was found that the bag
gage car had been almost blown to pieces the
greatest excitement prevailed. The train
was stopped and the baggage transferred
to another car. Mingus was quite seriously
injured, but will recover A brakeman
who was in the car at the time escaped
BY being thrown behind stack

A MATRIMONIAL LESSON.
How New Jersey wifc Kept Her Hus-
band at Home.

BosToN, N. j., Jan. 23.-Mrs. John Har-
vey, of Gloucester County, was deserted
by her husband couple of years ago, and
she has since been trying to get the Court
of Chancery to compel him to allow her
alimony. Vice Chancellor Bird, after
hearing the reasons for her husbands
desertion, filed an opinion denying
her application. Her husband says
that for a long time he suffered with sores
and blisters over his body, and only after
being afflicted with them for IA months
did he discover the cause. His wife, he
said, had told a neighbor that she inflicted
the sores by applying croton oil to his
clothing, and that her purpose in so doing
was to keep him at home nights. She sue.
ceeded so well in her purpose that she had
to communicate her secret to another wo-
man. The latter was so shocked that she
told Harvey what his wife had done, and
he thereupon deserted her.
